Let's look at section 20 of the Societies Registration Act once again. Look at the vintage, 1860. It's one of those acts that came after India's first revolution, the revolt of 1857. After that, after the queen's proclamation, this was an act that was brought about post the revolution and the queen taking over from the East India Company.

So, in a sense, many people believe, tongue-in-cheek—I mean, there is not much truth to that—but they believe that this was something like an anti-terrorist act that was brought at that time. It's not that draconian; that is why I say we say "tongue-in-cheek." Anyway, that was brought to regulate people who were getting into associations at that time. Of course, the government at that point, the British government—we were not independent then—wanted to regulate organizations getting together. Just as even today in independent India, the home ministry wants to regulate foreign contributions coming into India. So this is the vintage of some of these acts, 1860.

And it says the following societies can be registered under the act: charitable societies, though nowhere in the act describes what is charitable; military orphan funds or societies established as several presidencies of India; societies for the promotion of science, literature, or the fine arts; for instruction, the diffusion of useful knowledge, the diffusion of political education; the foundation or maintenance of libraries or reading rooms for general use among the members or open to the public; or public museums and galleries of paintings and other works of art, collections of natural history, mechanical and inventions, instruments or design. So a large gamut of things are discovered over here, but for us, this is important: you can set up charitable societies.
